1. Christmas Markets

This was the main reason we visited Germany at Christmastime, but they were a lot bigger than I expected. It was cool to see all the different stuff they were selling and the different food and drinks that were available.

2.Visiting Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site

It was sobering to walk where these people walked, and see where they lived, were tortured, and many died. This was an experience I can't forget.

3. Making a snowball

I love playing in snow! I wish there had been a little more snow while we were in Germany, but one day was better than none.

4. Trains

The trains in Germany were fantastic. I love trains, so any chance we had to ride a train or the subway, I was taking it.

Churches really just aren't built like they used to be. I mean look at these beauties.

6.Christmas Trees Everywhere

There were Christmas trees all over every town we visited. I mean you could hardly walk a block without seeing one, and it made me so happy.

7. Christmas Pyramids

My parents have a Christmas pyramid and it's really cool, so to see giant ones in real life was extra cool.

8. Gluhwein Mugs

Each market had their own mugs, and all of them were really creatively designed.

I loved almost everything about our trip to Germany, so picking a top 10 was hard for me. We had a great time exploring new places, eating new foods, and drinking all the gluhwein. I hope you will c

heck out all of the stops on our German adventure.
